Four of our featured charities, will receive grants of more than $10,000 each, and we hope from now on, as FBB grows, we will be able to increase all of our grants sustainably over the $10,000 level. And your donations to our Pathfinders Project has allowed our overseas volunteers to build 20 latrines in Haiti, help educate children at the Guatemala City Garbage Dump, and work for sustainability in NE Columbia.
